    PCI address assignment

    Hi, Sorry, looks as if I was reading the lspci / iommu group assignment... IOMMU Group 1 00:01.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200/2nd Generation Core Processor Family PCI Express Root Port [8086:0101] (rev 09) IOMMU Group 1 01:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation...

    PCI address assignment

    Hi, I'm just testing my intel i350-T4, which I was hoping to use and pass through individual ports to VM's and my current motherboard only allows me to plug the card into the pci-e x16 slot (the rest are x1). Anyway's, card works, all good... apart from the PCI assignment puts it into...

    PCI Passthrough for tv tuner?

    I have this working with a TBS6981, which is a CX23885. My config just needed the hostpci0: 05:00 (in my case).

    pvestatd doesn't let HDDs go to sleep

    I agree completely with this post. I also have disks that are nothing to do with pve, yet there's no way of asking the core to ignore them

    disk sleep override

    This disk is not in there and I never made any changes to that config file. Seem's, that if a controller that interfaces a disk isn't being passed through (or the VM hasn't started), the pve kernel assume's control. This is confirmed by the disk view in the pve instance. With my win7 guest...

    disk sleep override

    Hi, I've learned that the pve kernel detects disk's that spin down / sleep and forces them to wake again. I'd like my large data drive to be excluded from forced wake, is there an option for pve to ignore selected disks? Basically, its a samba shared disk and if not in use, i'd like to put it...

    exporting proxmox VM so can try using ubuntu / kvm

    Hi, Does anyone know if this possible? I have a Windows 7 server running under Proxmox that I'd like to preserve all I've done (which would be a backup / restore), but not sure what I'd need for KVM using qemu to be able to run the same VM. Any idea's? Thanks Neil

    Maturity of PCI passthrough

    I recently starting using Proxmox after testing ESXi first. I needed to run a win7 server and pass through a dvb-s2 card. For some strange reason, installing win 7 took an age, very slow and when I did have it ready, I passed through the pci-e card, which worked ok, but everytime I tried to...

    Annoying disk noise tracked down, but what to do?

    Hi Brian, You might well have, although I have a CDROM and don't see any such activity like I'm seeing with the HD's. From what I've read, this is a problem with the general linux kernel, and at one time was fixed, but the bug has re-emerged...

    Annoying disk noise tracked down, but what to do?

    Hi, I've been using Proxmox for a few weeks now and since changing from an Ubuntu server running KVM and Proxmox, I've noticed an annoying, periodic noise coming from my additional drives (i.e. not where Proxmox is installed). I have Proxmox installed to my 250gb SSD, but the system also has 2...

    Proxmox server ip

    Hi, I have a new server running with multiple NIC and I changed the network config... I made the bridge DHCP and bridged it to my other adapter. Now, the pve server has a different IP, since my local DHCP see's a different MAC address of the new NIC. However, the pve management console (and...

    shared i210 NIC vs i350-T4

    Hi, I currently have 2 VM's (windows and a ubuntu), one streams live TV (dvb-s2 dual, so decent bandwidth x2) and a file server (movies etc.) and I'm wondering if getting a i350-T4 (or cheaper if there's one with proper IOMMU isolation) and giving each VM its own proper NIC. I assume there...
